Kirei Station February Getsu Box Review and Unboxing

3:30 AM

Starting the love month with Kirei Station's February Getsu Box unboxing and review!

This isn't supposed to be my first post, I was initially going to publish a Peripera review but I noticed I still have some missing photos and the whole thing look so incomplete without those. The thing is I couldn't take photos because it's been really cloudy here lately, hence why this post is also delayed.

If you're not familiar with Getsu Box, I recommend you to check my previous post wherein I explained what it is and the said post is also a review of the January Box. Here's the link: CLICK

Kirei Station`s February Getsu Box contains a total of 6 products, all full sized this time. Last month's box, it carries 8 products, 2 of it being samples.

You may have noticed that almost all products are pink in color except for that lip balm.

They didn't specifically mention what the theme for this month is but seeing how it's pink colored, the main product and the info sheet being decorated in roses and also the snack being heart shaped will instantly make you think that the products were curated with Valetine's Day in mind. It's actually very nice to see that they have a theme for this month because it doesn't feel like they just threw whatever product they could find in the box but it would have been nicer to see the Canmake Secret Beauty Powder included in the last box in here instead because it has a heart design in the packaging. The only thing is that it's in gold color but it won't look so out of place unlike the lip balm above.

With that being said here is the list of products included in this month's box.

Evita Creamy Soap in Rose Scent Limited Edition

Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Rich Honey

Cezanne Natural Cheek N in #12

Rosette Gommage Peeling Gel Moist

Kose Clear Turn Princess Veil Rich Moist Mask 8 Sheets

Pocky Heartful Strawberry 2 Packs

Evita Creamy Soap in Rose Scent Limited Edition

This rose scented facial wash can effectively wash away the dirt, impurities, oil and make up without stripping all the moisture. Another benefit from this is that it can fight aging.

I've already heard of this brand because their rose shaped foaming cleanser was all the rage before. I've also heard that the said cleanser has a very high PH which is why other people decided to stay away from the product. Unfortunately, I have no way of testing the PH of this one because I don't have a PH strip. I haven't tried this yet so I don't have any opinion on how it works or if it is true to its claims, what I can confirm however is that it has a very light rose scent.

Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Rich Honey

A highly moisturizing lip cream that melts into your skin temperature blending into your lips and protect them with moisture in a single stroke. It is using Moist Bank technology and contains squalane and a couple of ceramides in the ingredients.

The one product that is seemingly lost in a box full of pink. This one I also haven't tried but I caught a whiff of it and can't seem to pinpoint what scent it actually has. Scent was light but still not very pleasant, at least to me. Here's to hoping that it's true to its claim to counter the unpleasant scent. Upon searching about this, i found out that his also has an unscented variant.

A blush containing pearls, it highlights the facial contours for a lustrous look while maintaining the skin's fine texture.

Available in 9 shades and also has a matte variant with 2 shades. I don't really use blusher that often hence why I don't have a collection of it. The only powder type I own if from Jill Stuart and the other 2 are cream type, one from Canmake and the other is from Etude House. If you're familiar with Japanese cosmetics you will know that when it comes to blusher, the go to brand is Canmake. Why? it's effective and very affordable. I personally haven't tried anything from Cezanne but it doesn't lose to Canmake because their products won't break the bank and is also said to be effective.

If there's one thing holding me back from using this, it's the pearls. I'm not really fond of glittery products in cosmetics.

A physical exfoliator that contains fruit derived AHA such as lactic, citric and malic acid. Like other peeling gels available in the market, this also balls up upon contact. How to know it works? When the lumps formed from rubbing your skin (gently) turns into grayish color. It means that it has successfully removed the dirt from your face and dead skin.

This product is actually popular and this is the moisturizing version. The other one is in blue colored packaging. I have tried this kind of peeling gel from other brands and yes, it turns grayish but I seriously can't tell if it made a difference on my skin.

A multitasking mask, not only does it act as a mask but also as a toner, emulsion, serum and cream! Perfect for lazy nights when you don't want to do a long skincare routine. Also available in a box like packaging that contains a total of 46 sheets and has 3 more different variants fitting for your skin needs!

I'm not really fond of using masks but lately I've been trying to use the masks in my drawer because I can't let them reach the expiration date anymore! Time for a change. Haha My other masks I already gave to my friends and they're very happy about it because sheet masks are really popular.

Quite excited to try this one tonight. I will be doing a mini review on my Instagram account so follow me there! Instagram link

Pocky Heartful Strawberry 2 Packs

A famous Japanese stick biscuit that comes in many, when I say many I mean MANY flavors.

This one is strawberry flavored with a heart shaped end. Not sure if it's limited edition but I'm guessing it is because the normal ones doesn't have an anime guy printed on the packaging. It even has a profile written at the back of the box but I can't read it because I don't know Japanese. Haha

It tastes good, it has tiny crushed strawberry candies on the frosting. While munching on it yesterday it reminded me of the strawberry flavored biscuit from the brand Rebisco, it tastes very identical!

Timeline:

Date shipped: January 22, 2018

Date Received: February 2, 2018

Box was sent through E-packet.

This arrived faster than the last box, I guess the holidays is to blame for that.

I like how it arrived on the first week of February because other subscription boxes usually arrives at the end of the month. Let`s say you ordered, a February box, your order will arrive on 2nd week or 3rd week of March.

Price breakdown will be added tomorrow.

Not gonna lie, the item I was the most excited about in this box is Pocky. Haha The other products didn't particularly excite me but I will still be trying it out with the hopes of finding a holy grail product. Nevertheless, I like how the products they included have brands that I haven't tried before. And the fact that they actually have a theme unlike the previous boxes is good.

Speaking of theme, the next box is very interesting! They haven't announced it yet but it's so obvious that it's going to have a Sakura / cherry blossom theme. If you guys don't know, sakura is very popular in Japan. Spring = Sakura. There are a lot of limited edition sakura items right now meaning that if they push through the sakura theme, there's a very high chance that you are going to recieve limited edition sakura products! Yay! Doesn't it make you feel thrilled?
